Rolex and Motor Sports

World of Rolex

Rolex and motor sports

FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DE MONACO is considered one of the greatest races and ultimate jewel in the Formula 1® crown. It requires a combination of precision driving and technical excellence and has been a regular fixture since 1955. Winning in Monaco places a driver’s name on a list that includes many all-time racing greats. Among them Rolex Testimonee Sir Jackie Stewart, three-time FIA Formula One Drivers’ World Champion and three-time winner of the 260,286-km Monte-Carlo street circuit.

Cosmograph Daytona

With its highly reliable chronograph and bezel with tachymetric scale, it allows drivers to perfectly measure average speeds up to 400 kilometres or miles per hour, as they choose. An icon eternally joined in name and function the high-performance world of motor sport.

Sir Jackie Stewart

Rolex and motor sports

Sir Jackie Stewart’s racing career began in 1964 at Goodwood. The young Scotsman, testing an F3 Cooper for the very first time, beat the then leading Formula 1® driver. He went on to achieve 27 wins in 99 starts and three FIA Formula One World Championship™ titles.

The year 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of his partnership with Rolex as the brand’s first Testimonee in motor racing. Possibly his greatest victory came from almost single-handedly revolutionizing motor-sport safety. So, although Sir Jackie may have retired from racing, his legendary impact on the sport remains as profound as ever.

The 24 Hoursof Le Mans

Rolex and motor sports

Engines roar and roads blur beneath. Jaws tighten. Then relax. Concentration remains in overdrive. Strapped in by a seat belt, but there by courage. Daylight fades and night shocks the senses. All the while, the heart is resolute. Endure.

ROLEX 24 AT DAYTONA®

Rolex and motor sports

With a simple drop of the green flag, anticipation gives way to intense action. For a demanding 24 straight hours, drivers must endure competition from all walks of racing, unforgiving curves and a track only 20% illuminated at night. If for any second, endurance gives way to mental and physical exhaustion, the chance to triumph slips away as fast as a speeding opponent. Drivers who remain resolute and confident in the face of danger, however, will go further than they ever have before.
